April Dinner Experiment

April 7th, 2008

Okay, it’s our first week of our April Dinner Experiment. I’m using Menu Plan Monday at Org Junkie for some planning help, and I’m listing our week of dinners here. Thirty days of not eating out is quite a challenge for us!

Here’s the plan…
Sunday - Sami Meatpies (biscuit dough rolled out with each person’s favorite cheese/sandwich meat tucked inside)
Monday - Homemade waffles with strawberry puree (The fresh strawberries here in Florida are amazing… blend them with a tiny bit of sugar and pour over the waffles. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Heaven.)
Tuesday - my birthday - we’re going out… our one April dinner out exception
Wednesday - Pizza-dillas (from Rachael Ray’s “Express Lane” cookbook)
Thursday - Bruschetta chicken (one of the My Girlfriend’s Kitchen meals I have in the freezer)
Friday - chicken nuggets & fries (The kids will be with a sitter while Mike and I go on a date to the outdoor movie showing of “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.”)
Saturday - Lime Chicken Soft Tacos (from All Recipes.com - love the ingredient search feature!)

Here’s hoping for the best!

(And Mandy, Happy Birthday… if we were still two doors down, we’d definitely be going out to dinner tonight, too, for your special day!)

    Your menu looks great - I’ll definitely be taking a peek at the recipes! I am intrigued by your April challenge… I might have to talk to DH about doing something similar. It probably would help our pocketbook AND our waistlines. :-D
